SUMMARY
Quarterback Rank: #46   
Overall: #258


Jackson entered the season as starter, got hurt, lost his starting job and then regained his starting job late in the year. Needless to say, Jackson had his moments in '08. But his finish was encouraging. In his last four regular season games, Jackson had eight touchdowns to one interception and completed 61 percent or better in every one of those games. The knocks on Jackson are he struggles with the deep ball and his accuracy can be erratic at times. He does have a great arm, though, and does a good job of making plays as a runner. He'll get his shot to start, but likely will be the backup to Sage Rosenfels. And the Vikings are a run-first team with Adrian Peterson the focal point of the offense.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
His late-season heroics were encouraging, but he is likely to play second fiddle to Rosenfels this season, giving him little fantasy value. Watch the battle for the starting job in training camp, though, before totally giving up on Jackson this season.
Charley Walters, of the Pioneer Press, reports it is expected that Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson will be traded or released by Friday, Aug. 21. If the Vikings are able to trade Jackson, it would seem they would prefer to deal him out of the NFC. The best the Vikings could expect in a Jackson trade would be a seventh-round draft pick.

CBSSports.com reports Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson acknowledged that he must get better if he expects to win the team's starting quarterback competition with QB Sage Rosenfels. 'I will let the coach judge that, but honestly to me, personally, I have a lot better to get,' Jackson said of the competition.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson is quickly falling behind in the race to start. He needs to get better in a hurry.

The Associated Press reports Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson (knee) came up limping during the team's evening practice Friday, Aug. 7, after planting in the pocket and limped around for several minutes before returning to action. Jackson said afterward that he is still working the kinks out from a sprained MCL in his left knee that he suffered last weekend. 'I was fine. I guess I just wasn't ready for that right now,' Jackson said after practice. 'But it's fine. It's not bothering me still. It was awkward for me. I think it was just some scar tissue.'
